political guru to bill clinton, predicted a landslide victory for mitt romney. a landslide. well, we all know how that turned out. dick morris, how are you? >> well, i'm a little battered and bleeding, but -- >> before we go any further, let's watch a bit of the moment you never want to relive. this is one of your great predictions. >> going to win by a landslide. the -- it will be the biggest surprise in recent american political history. it will rekindle a whole question as to why the media played this race as a nail-biter where in fact i think romney's going to win by quite a bit. my own view is that romney is going to carry 325 electoral votes. >> i mean, look, to be honest with you, i feel painful listening to that. god knows how you feel. i mean, with hindsight, were you bluffing? did you believe this? or is there any rational explanation for why you got it so wrong? >> oh, i absolutely believed it. and so did a lot of people. rasmussen and gallup both predicted a romney victory. and piers, cnn had a 47/47 tie race in its final poll 48 hours before the polls opened. >> what do you

about the pressure following hillary clinton and the former condoleezza rice. >> can a man actually run the state department? i don't know. as the saying goes, i have big heels to fill. >>> former president george h.w. bush is said to be feeling great, and he went out to dinner saturday night at a restaurant in houston. his first night out since being released from the hospital. he had a martini and stayed for two hours. all right. >>> a couple in arkansas are enjoying the profits from a whopper of a fishing trip, shall we say. lottery officials say the couple bought two lottery tickets, both winners. one ticket for $50,000 was bought on the way to fishing. the second ticket bought on the way home was a $1 million jackpot. now that's a fishing story. >>> in health news now, a new japanese study says chewing gum can boost alertness, upwards of 10%. they say average reaction times are faster among gum chewers. they say it's probably because of sensory brain arousal actually improving temporary blood flow to the brain. yeah. >>> on wall street we'll see if the selloff continues in the wake

by the doctor who served as president bill clinton's white house doctor. >> i worry he may have a heart attack, a stroke. it's almost like a time bomb waiting to happen unless he addresses those issues. and i worry about this man dieing in office. >> i find it fascinating that a doctor in arizona who has never met me, never examined me could make a diagnosis from 2400 mile is a way. she must be a genius. my children saw that last night. and she sat there on tv and said i'm afraid he will die in office. my 12-year-old son comes up to me last night and says dad are you going to die. >> christie rage is a total about face from his merry appearance on david letterman. watch as he squirms around unable to skeedle -- skeetle his bull nooct chair and then this stunning statement. >> basically the healthiest fat guy you seen in your life. >>> christy even munched oan doughnut while speaking with letterman. >> i didn't know this was going to be this long. >> the letterman appearance creating a buzz. across the air waves in you can laugh at yourself before others laugh at you then you kind of take some

not to renew his contract. dick morris who first achieved fame as an adviser to bill clinton and then desperately clung to fame as an attacker of bill clinton and hillary clinton, and all democrats. and he will surely resurface somewhere, somehow. in the meantime, we'll always have our memories of dick. >> this was an unbelievable win for sarah palin. in fact, i think that it unveils a level of skill in communication that i really have not seen since ronald reagan. she is a superstar. her ability to bypass the conventional wisdom of washington, her ability to speak in a tone, and a genre, a style that was so authentic and so outside of the mainstream was just unbelievable, barack obama may be the first anti-american president we have had. i guarantee you, sean, based on what i have heard from third parties that i have spoken to that william jefferson clinton will cast his ballot for mitt romney, i can't account the two differences because there are so many differences that go into it. they under state the romney vote and overstate the obama vote because they're using a 2008 m

president clinton introduced a package of gun control proposals. if you look back at the coverage of those proposals that president clinton introduced, a lot of the coverage involved this infighting that you're talking about. gun control groups, far left saying, we don't like these packages from the democratic president because they don't go far enough. they are not banning handguns. they are not taking people's guns away. anything he's going to do, such as closing the gun control loophole, doesn't go far enough to satisfy us. and that kind of hinfighting helped keep the assault weapons ban from being removed in 2004. it was really an impediment to progress for the movement. >> people on that site moderating their rhetoric and getting more unified about exactly what they think they can try to get done. it's not like the nra is backing off. if anything, they and their supporters have gone further to the right, haven't they? >> people may have seen the commercial that aired during the super bowl by mayors against illegal guns, mike bloomberg's group, that showed that group of wayne lapierre

, but that may not be good enough, especially if he has eyes on the white house. according to president clinton's former doctor, she has a warning. that's ahead on (woman) 3 days of walking to give a breast cancer survivor a lifetime-- that's definitely a fair trade. it was such a beautiful experience.

marks the 25th anniversary of bill clinton signing the family and medical leave act. it guarantees new parents 12 weeks off after childbirth. when that was passed, 119 republicans signed against that. and several of them are still in the house. so our favorite guy today eric cantor making his pitch today. >> our solutions will be based on the conservative principles of self reliance faith in the individual, trust in family, and accountability in government. our goal is to ensure that every american has a fair shot to earn success and achieve their dreams. >> jennifer: every american has a fair shot. every american. sound like familiar language to me. maybe even out of one of the president's famous speeches like the one he just had in the inauguration. but rhetoric, of course, will not change the underlying policies. for example, take eric cantor's remarks on student lends. >> we alsoloans. >> we want to work on our student aid process to give incentive to finish studies sooner. >> jennifer: sounds great. but he forgot to mention that his team voted to eliminate pell grants to over a mi

universally condemned speech of recent times was bill clinton's keynote speech at the 1988 democratic convention when he got a big round of applause when he said in conclusion. he did okay. they nominated him next time and he went on to a pretty successful political career. let's not forget that last time the person who gave the response was paul ryan, who went on to win the republican vice presidential nomination. if you do well, there are opportunities. if you do badly, it's a difficult thing to recover from, but not impossible as bill clinton showed. >> rubio has some ground to catch up. he's running behind at least paul ryan. when it comes in popularity and for those who want to say paul ryan's out of it because he was on the losing team obviously the polling doesn't seem it. very likely to support for the republican nomination in 2016. 75% say chris christie is at 59. in this sense, there is a big opportunity for marco rubio, right? >> i think it's a great opportunity and i think it's a blessing. it's a good thing for the republican party and i'm a democrat. i don't know if you k

and '80s, they lost the popular vote in a number of elections. it was five or six before bill clinton won in 1992. and the organization that came out of that is the democratic leader organization. that was a policy organization. it had a big messaging component. but the main work of that group was to try to wrench the democratic party to what they felt was the center on a variety of fairly significant policies, ranging from health care to welfare to how to deal with budgets and taxes. there doesn't seem to be at this point a deal on the right. there is a belief that you need to talk to the center better and reach out to more people. but there is not a belief that sort of mirrors reforming welfare, changing it as we know it or reforming it as we know it. >> quite the opposite. you mentioned jim demint take over the heritage foundation, he is convinced that republicans on policy are completely right. he said in an interview today with scott rasmussen in the pollsters, which is democrats give money. that is not true, he is repeating what worked in the 2010 elections, the problem is democrats

from texas who has stumbled a bit. rubio has been more of the barack obama and hillary clinton model. he's been careful about how he uses that star power and also his opponent is probably paul ryan, who i thought gave a very weak speech at the national review institute. rubio is coming with new ideas and new ideas that will move his party to the center. outstanding choice. >> on immigration reform, he's joined forces with some democrats, comprehensive immigration reform. senator vitter of louisiana calls him naive. so he's getting some criticism from the right. >> naive for some means hopeful and optimistic for others and i think that's what some republicans have been lacking. we've been painted in the times, rightly so, that we're only the guys in suits and business men in an old world. are we the party for everyone? do we have an offer of better way for everyone in the united states, not just our alleged 53% which we didn't even have? and rubio, i think, speaks to that. >> he's got to be really careful in giving that republican response to the president's state of the union address

of the republican party? >> bill clinton did very well -- they focused on issue that is people cared about and what people care about are college education, the cost of college -- >> if the gop is going to reband itself it has to deal with the monitor that eric cantor helped create. u.s. congressman paul brown is expected to run for the georgia senate seat held by retiring -- i used to think this guy was right wing, sackby chambliss. broun said this, i think the only constitution that barack obama upholds is the soviet constitution, not this one. he has no concept of this one though he claimed to be a constitutional lawyer. steve king who suggested president obama's parents may have announced his birth by telegram from africa. can your party stop its candidates being taken up by nuts. >> i think for washington people to say to grat roots activists we have to tell you how your going to make -- >> how do you stop these groups from winning? >> you know what you need to do? you need to educate the voter and get back to the -- >> get them with the right majors. >> hit them with the right -- >> and marco

clinton in 2016. it could apply to president rubio in 2017 i guess i should say. >> you're exactly right, michael. i think this president actually is fairly sensitive to precedent. you know, it's interesting, he has sort of supreme confidence in his own ability to handle power well and responsibly. he's less confident about those who would come after him, and that's part of the reason that he has sort of tasked john brennan to put together what brennan has called a playbook to kind of codify and institutionalize the -- >> a set of standards. >> -- and procedures for targeted killing. it will be interesting to see how he does that when he's at the helm of the cia. >> thank you, dan and robin. we appreciate you being here. >>> coming up, the republicans' civil war. it's karl rove against the tea party, and democrats, they couldn't be happier. this is "hardball," the place for politics.

but at a lower level. that's not pro life. >> let me talk about what i'm talking about. when billion clinton took office, there were 1.4 million abortions, now there's 700,000. because of adoption procedures, counselling, birth control. notification. the republican party needs to make abortion illegal to making it rare. >> when you say turning it from legal to rare, what you're moving from is pro life to pro choice in the debate. you can't be. you're either or, you either believe it should be legal or you don't. >> you move your position. >> i believe it's a practical matter with the republican party. if they focus on overturning roe, they're whistling in the wind, they know that. >> as a party's position, and they have to be clear about this, so the women you're talking about, if you're disenfranchised by the party, know exactly what they stand for. what you're saying is, they need to move from pro life to pro choice, albeit, trying to reduce the numbers? >> yes. >> is that right? >> explain to me why i'm wrong. >> i don't hear my own words coming out of my mouth. >> explain to me why i'm wrong.

: under bill clinton. >> god bless america. >> bill: what a team coming up here. among other guests, we're going to be talking with joe courtney, good congressman from new york. igor volsky -- no? connecticut. what am i saying? don't tell him i said that. igor volsky from the center for american progress and think progress will be here as he is every tuesday. frank rich, great columnist for "new york" magazine will be here as well and yes the department of justice saying drones away! but first -- >> this is the "full court press." >> other headlines making news on this tuesday the nfl and officials at the superdome in new orleans have officially ruled that beyoncÉ's high-powered halftime show had nothing to do with the super bowl power outage. some had speculated she used too much electricity in her performance but "usa today" reporting the halftime show was run completely on generator power, not stadium power. in fact, the stadium lights were turned off during that show so they were using even less energy in the stadium. the issue still being blamed on an energy surge from a substatio

.s. consulate attack in benghazi and libya. secretary of state hillary clinton appeared before the senate armed services committee last month. ambassador chris stevens and three other americans were killed in the attack september 11th. >>> the boy scouts say they need more time, put off potentially historic vote yesterday on lifting the national ban on gay members. the organization will take this up during their annual meeting in may. >>> tim geithner is shopping for a publisher. the former treasury secretary is planning to write a book, of course is he, about his handling of the 2008 financial crisis. geithner came under fire for the bailout of the big banks when he was head of the new york fed. he's hoping to have the book done by next year. >> that's interesting, too, to hear a public announcement. i'm shopping for a publisher. >>> let's take you back to the national prayer breakfast, it's the 61st annual, we're still waiting for president obama to get up and speak, chuck schumer is now at the podium. he's not a short speaker, senator schumer, who is my senator so i think as a constituent i

especially if he has eyes on the white house. according to president clinton's former doctor, she has a warning. that's ahead on >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald >>> good morning, everyone. 7:26. i'm frank mallicoat on this wednesday. get you caught up with some bay area headlines now. sonoma county coroner expected to remove the bodies of three men from a cabin near forrestville today. investigators say the murders were not random. there is no suspect information at this time. >>> el cerrito city council will continue with a pledge of allegiance prior to its meetings but has decided to offer a moment of silence for those who do not wish to recite the pledge of allegiance. >>> and a camel named rudy will get a check-up with a vet today. he had a busy night. it may have been a minivan that hit him after he escaped last night on bailey road in concord. cowboys rounded him up. rudy will get a check-up today. traffic and weather coming right up. ooh kfc. hey, you're supposed to wait for everybody. you know what, while we're waiting why

her secretary of state post, a new hillary clinton website surfaces. we will show you this new photo that some say paints clinton as very presidential? hello! how sharp is your business security? can it help protect your people and property, while keeping out threats to your operations? it's not working! yes it is. welcome to tyco integrated security. with world-class monitoring centers and thousands of qualified technicians. we've got a personal passion to help your business run safer, smarter, and sharper. we are tyco integrated security. and we are sharper. >>> so, hillary clinton has a brand-new website. as you can imagine, the 2016 presidential rumor mill back in full steam. look at this with me. if you go to hillaryclintonoffice.com, she's looking as some have suggested very presidential. it was registered as she left her post as secretary of state last week. and, get this, if you visit her old campaign website, you'll find a link to this new site and this picture, presidential picture. let's just continue, let's jump in on that stream of speculation. john, let me begin with yo

affairs and clinton had done too much nation building and then he turned into the biggest nation-builder president we've had in sometime. >> after 9/11, right. i don't think he ever accused, mika, bill clinton of shredding the constitution. >> i mean, look -- >> which he was accused of doing. which he accused george w. bush of doing. >> i have to say, i was definitely on the critical end of things, as were members of my family. we were very, very, very concerned about how far the bush administration pushed the boundaries of not only, you know, what is constitution but what is morally right. and this is definitely in the same category, completely in the same category. this argument. i'm not saying we shouldn't be doing it. >> again, whether you have an issue with it is not the point that pete wehner is trying to make or quite frankly the point i've been trying to make for five or six years. and willie, i'll go back to it, and we're going to pull the tape. liberals were angry at barack obama for suggesting that he wasn't going to push to have george w. bush tried for war crimes. >>

that drew all the attention. it wasn't long after the bill clinton/monica lewinsky scandal and the news media seized on revelations that levy was having an affair with her married boss then congressman gary condit. he was later cleared but his political career ruined. more than nine years after the killing, an illegal immigrant from el salvador was convicted of levy's murder. there is word that conviction will be tossed out. brian todd is in washington, good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, c carol. because the judge has kept contents of two recent hearings under seal much of this is still a mystery this morning. we do know as you mentioned that the man convicted of murdering chandra levy, a salvadoran immigrant is being fwrut court today, he's been in prison in alabama. in december and january the presiding judge in the case held two hearings he's kept under seal. according to court papers filed by media organizations trying to get the hearings unsealed, prosecutors recently notified the court of potential evidence that might have to do with the credibility of a prosecution w

certificate sore, appreciate it. >> former president clinton says of all the laws passed while in office there's still one that gets the most praise. we'll tell you what that law is and talk about its on going conversation with joe conason and alexis herman next on "morning joe." >>> it took eight years and two vetoes to make this legislation the law of the land. now, millions of our people will no longer have to choose between their jobs and their families. the law guarantees the right of up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year when it's urgently needed at home to care for a newborn child or an ill family member. >> signing one of your favorite bills. >> sure. >> this was like big for women. >> the family and medical leave act into law. that was 20 years ago yesterday. and president clinton reflected on the anniversary in politico writing in part this. 20 years ago yesterday, barely more than two weeks into my presidency, i stood in the white house rose garden to sign the family and medical leave act which provided millions of americans with the opportunity to take time off to care for a new
